How did you start learning japanese grammar?

Hello, sorry for this extremely late reply I havent been active lately. But I learned basic grammar (around N5-4 with some n3) from Tae Kim's guide to Japanese. He has a free app and pdf or you can buy the book. I wrote down notes about each topic and got example sentences using the grammar point. You could also make flashcards on Anki to help you review.

Hii! Sorry if you answered this before! But I see you read some japanese novels and I was wondering where you got them from? It's hard to find books written in actual japanese where I live..

Hello! I got the books from CDJapan and Amazon JP. But mostly the first one since it can be cheaper than amazon

how do you practise speaking Japanese?

Sorry for the late reply 😭

But generally the best way to practise speaking is to call natives! I do this on the app called "Hellotalk" since I've got no natives near me that I know of. Additionally, I like to read out sentences that I'm reading or mimic what I'm watching since it helps with pronunciation. Sending voice messages in the beginning is fine if you are too shy to start calls right off the bat.
